—The essence of fractal image denoising is to predict the fractal code of a noiseless image from its noisy observation. From the predicted fractal code, one can generate an estim...

This paper describes a novel color texture-based image retrieval system for the query of an image database to find similar images to a target image. The retrieval process involves...
Abstract--Sparse representations of signals have drawn considerable interest in recent years. The assumption that natural signals, such as images, admit a sparse decomposition over...
Color images have a gamut that typically spans three dimensions. Nevertheless, several important applications, such as the creation of grayscale images for printing and the re-col...
Abstract. In this paper we address the challenging problem of recovering the depth of a scene from a single image using defocus cue. To achieve this, we first present a novel appro...
